XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Chevrolet CORVETTE C7 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2013-2019

The C7 Corvette’s transverse leaf-spring rear and Magnetic Ride Control suspension is a fascinating piece of GM engineering, but it’s also the wall serious track users eventually hit: MR dampers can’t be revalved, the spring rates are road-biased, and the ECU’s adaptive logic fights you the harder you push. The XYZ Racing Racing Spec coilover replaces that closed system wholesale, and the included cancellation kit means the C7’s electronics stop throwing codes the moment you unbolt the factory units.

This is the spec built for circuit work – Spa, Donington, the Nordschleife club opens, time-attack rounds – where a Z51 or Grand Sport owner has already moved past pad upgrades and wants the damper to actually keep up with a 460bhp LT1 and 305-section rear rubber.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2019 Chevrolet Corvette C7

On the road, the stock C7 already rolls flatter than the C6 it replaced; on a circuit, that ceiling reveals itself fast. The Racing Spec damper gives the C7 the body control to hold a chosen line through Druids or Old Hall without the rear stepping out unexpectedly when a kerb unloads the leaf spring. Front-end response sharpens because the damper is no longer chasing an ECU map – you decide compression and rebound. Brake stability under late entry, where the C7’s long wheelbase normally pitches forward and unloads the inside-rear, becomes predictable enough to brake deeper. Combined with the cancellation kit, the dashboard stays clean and the traction control behaves as designed rather than panicking over a missing magnetorheological feed.

About the Racing Spec coilover

The Racing Spec is XYZ Racing’s circuit-grade damper, and the spec sheet for it has been derived from direct competition use – including WTCC programmes, where the brand has built dampers for factory racing vehicles and A-class race cars. That pedigree matters here because it means the valving logic isn’t a fast-road compromise wearing a track badge; it’s a race damper sold to a retail customer. The platform also supports custom builds: owners running aggressive aero, slick tyres, or a specific circuit can supply XYZ with the car’s full mod list and target venue, and the shock absorbers can be built to those parameters. Construction is the same high-pressure monotube architecture used across XYZ’s racing line, with full ride-height adjustment independent of preload so corner-weighting is genuinely possible.

Fitment for the Chevrolet Corvette C7 (2013-2019)

Chassis code CH04-C, covering the 2013-2019 C7 generation – Stingray, Z51, Grand Sport, and the related variants that left the factory with Magnetic Ride Control. The cancellation kit is included in this part number specifically to deal with the C7’s electronic damping ECU. Confirm your car is the MR-equipped variant before ordering, as non-MR C7s take a different part.
